@@tydiriumhanger1320 Heard the same. If so they've not had a fail or anything close to one yet. Plan to pick this guy up and already have Mirage from them. Still need MMC to follow through on the full sized cassettes for him. Don't care if Ramhorn fits snuggly. I'll be leaving him in there. 😂
I just grabbed one at tfcon Chicago over the weekend. This may be may favorite mp scaled bot that I own. My only complaint is the ram horn is just too small. It's a very well made lil guy. I plan on putting the ram horn with my earthrise blaster, it scales perfectly with him. DS blaster is a very solid figure with tight joints and great ratchets.
I got mine last week and it’s sweet and all the paint was still kinda wet on mine when it arrived in mail from showzstore so I let him sit out in the air with fan blowing on him for a couple days before I started handling him again but now he seems to be fine…
I'm disappointed about this as well because they made his arms lift super high on just the shoulder joint but then gave him the extra joint that makes his arms flip on top of his body which is unnatural and unnecessary. This shows that they had the available room to play with which could have given him a nice butterfly joint but instead we get arms that can 180 to the top of his body! WTF! With that joint being L shaped to attach the arm and as thick as butterfly joints are on other bots, I bet it can be designed as a two piece part with a hinge to allow the butterfly movement and someone can 3D print it.
I got him last week he's awesome in hand. Chest is die cast as well. Fanstoys will be able to make a better one but im not pre ordering or waiting 3+ years.
I got mine about two weeks ago and I had paint chipping on the inside of the elbows and I have two of the same face plates. I have two open mouth plates. I do like it overall, its way better then my KFC blue twin cast blaster
It is funny that the box has Blaster mis-transformed (panel behind the butt) just like they had Starscream mis-transformed on the DS-01 box. I wonder if they're gonna make this their tradition. :)
NICE LOOKING CARTOON G1 BLASTER FROM DEFORMATION SPACE BUT IT LOOKS MORE LIKE AN OVERSIZED VERSION OF LEGACY BLASTER TO ME. I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD IN GETTING MY HANDS ON THE FANS TOYS VERSION OF G1 BLASTER AND I CAN'T WAIT TO ADD FANS TOYS G1 BLASTER IN TO MY COLLECTION OF G1 MASTERPIECE TRANSFORMERS!
@@tydiriumhanger1320 YOU DO GET WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR SO I'M GOING FOR FANS TOYS ALL THE WAY! FANS TOYS MASTERPIECE VERSION OF G1 BLASTER WILL BE MORE WELL-MADE WITH BETTER USE OF MATERIALS, BETTER PAINT JOB, MORE DIECAST AND NO CHEAP USE OF THINNER PLASTICS.
This is okay...it ain't for me, though. I think that if I want one, I'll stick to gettin' the KFC one...or if push comes to shove, the Titans Return one. Also, I find it surprising that folks compare it to the G1 toy, but NOBODY'S compared it to the *Titans Return* one. That said, their dedication to hyper toon accuracy is...a treat, I suppose...but it just flat out SUCKS that it doesn't include face options based on the G1 toy/Marvel G1 comic. The lousy Tape Minion gimmick sucks, as usual...I don't think that anybody is ever going to get this right.
The transformation reminds me a lot of the Kingdom version. I'm with you 100% on the heads. I really wish companies including Has/Tak would throw in comic/toy accurate alternate heads. Especially when it comes to MPs. I get that the majority of fans want hyper toon. Most of us who don't can't stand it though. I guess it's saving me $...
Love their Seekers but this one is a pass. Was never a fan of his toon look and he looks like he's wearing shorts. Sticking with the KFC one for now. Really don't care that he's not toon accurate and like that he's not plain-looking. I hope DS is doing an Eject and Rewind. I would like to use the KFC ones in my CHUG collection. I've got their 2.0 Ramhorn and Steeljaw on order to replace their older ones in my MP collection.
I really can't wait to see what's next from this company. I really like what they've done so far. Great video.
If they really are Transforme element there are now 4 great releases under their belt and the next will be awesome also

I had some wet spots also thought it was maybe lube for those tight joints LOL
Yes! I agree! Definitely a nice figure! Wished DS did a Gloss version. As always great video Mike.
Yes a glossy plastic version would also be great but I bet we get metallic paint
Great looking Blaster. I would like to have a cell shaded painted one but then again I love the matted paint as well.
Yes a Cell shaded one would be great and not out of the question
I love this figure! If only he had premium paint 🤔
Just got mine too. It's very plain but it's a fantastic figure. Love the articulation.
Yes the toon look is plain so bring on the metallic
Whoa, the G1 toy is in the Masterpiece scale?! What madness is this?
LOL yes it is one of the few g1 figures that are MP scale
It looks so good. But alas, because I am a pose junkie, I was looking for that butterfly 🦋 and didn’t see any indication of one. Thanks for the review

Yes not sure why they did not include that function

The chest door, inside tape ejector/slider, feet, and the inserts in the flat bottom of the feet are all die cast in this guy. Pretty cool!
OH the chest is diecast did not catch that

KFC was grear for the time but this one brings Blaster into the new era of MP

I did not notice now I have to check that LOL
He's a blast!
LOL that he is

Fanstoys will have more diecast and paint but is almost the exact same design

Ok bro help me make choice…. I got aa one a big purchase in the budget … TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF I SHOULD GET HIM OR TRANSISTOR
I would pick this over KFC Transistor and for about the same price
@@tydiriumhanger1320 my buddy has transistor for 95 shipped …
I can’t wait to see if someone custom paints this blaster metallic. Wow g1 looks better in boom box mode!
That would be slick I have seen some great customs
It’s been a while since you did a review
I have more on the way soon
Very toon colored. So far seems the best.
He is a great design and looks way better in hand
I like this blaster more than kfc. Once I get this, I going to sell my kfc.
😊
Thanks
Hmmm....still not sure I dig the face. Might have to hold off for FansToys to see what they do. Of course I could also be dead by then.
Fanstoys will be a bit better because now they can see what the competition did and make improvements to theirs
3 to 5 years. haha. Serious.
It is true but many feel it is worth the wait
I don't like the pelvis/hip area. I get that it's cartoon accurate. Not for me as I don't care for toon aesthetic, but it looks like a nice figure.

Yes the Titans Return one is good and about the same size. I do not have a loose one to compare anymore
